Ceasefire? Israel has already annexed more than half of the territory of Gaza. This is a war crime based on the UN Security Council Resolution 242 (S/RES/242) of November 1967.

Working on three essays:
1. Gramsci as a Communist intellectual and not as a cultural studies icon.
2. On Gramsci's grave.
3. On the Marxism of Defeat. Trying to excavate the Marxism of class struggle & not of desolation.
These are preparing me to write a book on the Marxism of National Liberation.

The United States is flying B-2 bombers next to the boundary of Venezuelan air space. This is a very serious provocation and contrary to international law.
And the @nobelprize.bsky.social committee is responsible.

Nora Haddada at the Frankfurt Book Fair spoke of a 'discourse psychosis' in Germany that prevented an open condemnation of the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. 'The shit is really going down', she said. 'Silence is just one step down from cowardice'.
